PheanPadim - Go (demo)

The ground grinds
against my nose
Battered, balancing
On broken toes
When there are highs
I'm winning every race
But the lows are
punches to the face

Slowly up again
this feels great
wringing in my ears
i disintegrate
swollen by the sound
too heavy to move
Hearing the sun is down
But I refuse

Lock up all the alarm clocks
Back in the shade of the sun
Lock up all the alarm clocks
Try trust your own impression

I step out and into
The light of the sun
A long walk to
feeling freedom

What I hate is when its great - 
Illuminate and celebrate
But then after through their laughter
I'm too weak to even speak
  
Why let them tell you its time
Why let them make you feel
Why let them tell you its time
Why let them make you feel

Lock up all the alarm clocks
Back in the shade of the sun
Lock up all the alarm clocks
trust your own impression  

lock up lock up lock up
lock up all the alarms
lock up lock up lock up lock lock up
lock up all the alarm clocks

PheanPadim - 'Alarm Clocks'

Sharing secrets and meekness
Pain can explain why
intimacy intimidates us

(Distraction, distraction)

Someone to understand you
A distraction from
wanting to Always be something else

(Distraction)

Interrupting our something
Stray in split essence
is nothing but tugging at my trust 

Divided attention
Intensive attraction
Distraction, distraction
Let loose from the traction
Divided attention
Intensive attraction
Distraction, distraction
Let loose from the traction

Love diverts the fear of hurt
now you defend that
instincts flirt with strands of desire

(Distraction, distraction)

Hands cannot inhabit hearts
But your breath burns me
When you start yearning another's air   

(Distraction)

Thought your support held me up
But the smell of your scent
Diverts acknowledgment of my own

(Distraction, distraction)

Divided attention
Intensive attraction
Distraction, distraction
Let loose from the traction
Divided attention
Intensive attraction
Distraction, distraction
Let loose from the traction


PheanPadim - 'Distraction'

Hovering I'm bothering I'm
wond'ring why the world I'm in
Had dropped me from a deeper sleep
To wake up in the peak of heat
VOETSEK
Defeat ourself divide our wealth
Prolong our health to live in filth
How'd our worlds moved separately
When all that was worked perfectly
VOETSEK

These different worlds
On the same planet

Through history humanity
exhausted so insatiably
This earth off its trajectory
rejecting life as living free
VOETSEK
so industry, economy
advances as we arguably
Trade our time for temporary
Surface satisfactory
VOETSEK

These different worlds
On the same planet

Wet with sweat, eclectic wreck
The soul dies here while breathing air
Of men afraid to show their tears
Who hide their fears in children's ears
VOETSEK
Towers so tall The skies do stare
Up at the clouds they own now bare
with expectation, raining drought
Them none without, yet all in doubt
VOETSEK

These different worlds
On the same planet

You - you go there
And this, this is my side
No, we can't share
From today we're different kind
VOETSEK
You - you may never return
And if you ever dare to do
I'll make slaves of your brothers
For centuries we will rule

These different worlds
On the same planet

PheanPadim - "Different Worlds"

i will win
yes i will win
sin, no sin
no sin won't begin
to move into
my glorious triumph
over the darkness
i will win
yes i will win
sin, no sin
no sin won't begin
to move into
my glorious triumph
over the darkness in me

i've climbed a hundred 
of these steps or more
almost enough to know 
each one by name
i walk familiar paths 
every day

though underneath the ground has changed
i recognize every face 
that passed me by
comfort to know my memory's still alive

i will win
yes i will win
sin, no sin
no sin won't begin
to move into
my glorious triumph
over the darkness
i will win
yes i will win
sin, no sin
no sin won't begin
to move into
my glorious triumph
over the darkness in me

ev'ry time i notice something familiar
i'm reminded that i don't know
that there are so, so many colors
of which i've never tasted before

running, running, running so fast i can smell
the movement, the bleakness the trap i repel
from me, from me, from me

i will win
yes i will win
sin, no sin
no sin won't begin
to move into
my glorious triumph
over the darkness
i will win
yes i will win
sin, no sin
no sin won't begin
to move into
my glorious triumph
over the darkness in me

PheanPadim - "Glorious Triumph"

HER
When we touch
He feels broken
I sense when I
Lean on his shoulder
Tumbling in himself
heavy hands
hold closed
What little we have
  
When assumption's how we argue
I project my feelings on you
To become my mind's reflection
Through this silent introspection
When we're speaking with our bodies
When we're silent and distraught
I get lost in my assumptions
And my superstitious thoughts
When we don't talk

HIM
Like strangers again
She cannot trust me
For too long without
Feeling uneasy
Too unsatisfied
She wouldn't hold
Or grab on me
No, she'd rather fall

When assumption's how we argue
I project my feelings on you
To become my mind's reflection
Through this silent introspection
When we're speaking with our bodies
When we're silent and distraught
I get lost in my assumptions
And my superstitious thoughts
When we don't talk      
 
HIM
She slumps up
HER
His head falls below
HIM
What is she thinking
HER
He will never know
HIM
I'm showing her meekness
HER
Is he hiding his face?
HIM
Does she understand?
HER
I'm giving him space

HIM/HER
When assumption's how we argue
I project my feelings on you
To become my mind's reflection
Through this silent introspection
When we're speaking with our bodies
When we're silent and distraught
I get lost in my assumptions
And my superstitious thoughts
When we don't talk
Why don't we talk anymore? 

HIM
When we talk with our eyes
Sometimes I find
Two arguments
Are biting at my mind
HER
When we speak with our lips
And after we've fought
Then all these assumptions
Mean nothing but thoughts
 
HIM/HER
When we talk, talk, talk, talk
Let's try speak to each other

PheanPadim - 'We Don't Talk'

I'm afraid to look in another's eyes, 
until now
the eyes I meet most
are mine
staring

back at me
every pair I see, 
deep inside
seem to find  
myself, but myself that
I have never known before, 
until now

I see, I see
I never seen before
I see, I see 
myself and so much more

in the surprise of sunrise

when I look there
its only because 
I am completely ready 
for you 
to look at me again

I see you see me 
your fears are deceiving
you look back pretending 
I can't see you peering
in my direction 
hold back your deception
honestly, 
honesty needs no perception

deep inside
seem to find  
yourself 
but yourself that you 
have never known before

I see, I see
I never seen before
I see, I see 
myself and so much more
in the surprise of sunrise

surprise me
surprise me

surprise me
surprise me

in the sunrise

PheanPadim - Sunrise Surprise

You look how I feel
Like you have been through the wars
Let's trade battle stories
Around a camp fire
I'll tell you mine if you share yours

You sound like a sad song
Like the rhythm to my beat
Let's try play each other
Like two beaten drums
Maybe that's the way we could speak

Your skin subtracts my insecurities
one touch is too much once instigated
My body's confused
cos I'll be covered in blues
But, yet, with you I want to feel naked

We've been disasters
Of different times
So now, together
Let's light a fire
Right now
Right now
We've been disasters
Of different times
So now, together
Let's light a fire
Right now
Right now

I smell like a rained out pity party
I know cos I can smell myself too
it will take some  breath to dry the treads
On my sopping wet tear stained threads
Perhaps I can get a blow from you?

We've been disasters
Of different times
So now, together
Let's light a fire
Right now
Right now
We've been disasters
Of different times
So now, together
Let's light a fire
Right now
Right now

Don't deny that my eyes surprise
Your suspicions
And when you smile, my smile
quells all of your questions
Right now, right now
Right now, right now
Sadness is satisfying
Around the fire that we're lighting
Right now
Right now
Right now

PheanPadim - 'Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You'

The Phean Project is a socio-economic world view, philosophy, and movement which seeks to unify the BRICS nations and those of Brazillian, Russian, Indian, Chinese and South African heritage into a global network. Generally The Phean Project calls for a socially, artistically and economically innovative unity of the "New World Order". The mission is to always be a visible catalyst for philosophical change that is informed by traditional cultural practices and explored through contemporary art forms. 

Starting in Johannesburg in 2013, the project has moved to Moscow where South African perspectives on rhythm in dance have been merged with Russian melodies and musical practice. This first leg of the project, 'Pheanpadim', is an extension of the idea to be "A multicultural approach to creating art, that is layered with diverse cultural knowledge to identify, showcase, network and expose thought that need not be limited by conventions we have been confined to."

The product is a storytelling performance between people from two continents and cultures, the result is the audience's interpretation…
